Set salary ranges for city management positions
In Plain English
The city needs formal pay scales for department heads and other senior managers who are not covered by union contracts. These exempt positions include roles like division chiefs, assistant directors, and confidential staff who handle sensitive information. If approved, the ordinance creates standardized salary ranges to ensure consistent compensation across management roles.

Why This Vote Matters
The council rejected a proposal to establish standardized salary ranges for department heads and other senior managers in a split decision. The measure failed with three members voting in favor (Viramontes, Marquez, and Butt) and five opposing (Sandhu, Rogers, Lopez, Vice Mayor Bates, and Mayor McLaughlin), while Thurmond abstained. These pay scales would have covered management positions not covered by union contracts, including division chiefs, assistant directors, and staff handling sensitive information. This represents a departure from typical personnel votes, as most council members historically approve personnel matters over 90% of the time.
